New Michigan blogger on The Diag

With a new era being ushered in here at The Diag, and a whole lot of changes going on in Michigan sports coverage (i.e. the launch of AnnArbor.com and the merger of two Michigan sports blogs), I think introductions are in order here on MLive.com.

My name is Ryan Kartje, and I'll be taking you through this year's exciting Michigan sports action.

As the Managing Sports Editor at The Michigan Daily this past summer and an associate editor before that, I have immersed myself in all that is Michigan sports. And I can tell you wholeheartedly that I'm excited to be here.

I have some big ideas for this blog (including more recruiting, more in-depth game breakdowns and more countdowns) that will maintain MLive and The Diag as one of your most reliable sources of Michigan sports and sports banter.
